Samantha Turner Folsom Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 16, 2011.
Samantha E. Turner-Folsom found peace in God's hands on Nov. 9, 2011. Our beloved daughter was born Feb. 6, 1985 in Little Rock AFB, Arkansas. She returned to Maine in May 1985 to share and help Memere Desjardins smile during the difficult times of her illness. In 1989, she spent 3 years where she introduced Grammy Turner, who was from Florida, to a whole new meaning with playing in the snow and building snowmen along with her brother, Jonathan. In 1990, she moved to Greene with her family.She and her buddy Jonathan developed life long friends and memories. They were into swimming, Campfire, Boy Scouts, soccer and karate. Sammie became a cheerleader from the sixth grade until her senior year at Leavitt High School in Turner, Maine. She graduated in 2003. In 2005, she married Jesse Folsom and they moved to Fort Irwin Army Base in California. The happiest day of her life was on June 20, 2008 when she gave birth to her son Darren. Although Samantha and Jesse did not remain together, they continued to remain friends. Sammie had a big heart, a love for animals and a kindred spirit which lives on in her son. She leaves behind her beloved son Darren, loving parents Jon and Joline Turner of Greene, her lifelong friend and brother Jonathan Turner, Jesse Folsom and his family from Buckfield, her best friend Samantha York who resides in Colorado, her Godmother Rachel Pratt of Auburn and many aunts, uncles and cousins.Greeting her in heaven will be her grandparents Pepere Robert and Memere Marcelle Desjardins and Grampy Roy and Grammy Elizabeth Turner. Sammie, you will always be loved and never forgotten, especially for your kind heart and beauty. Darren will continue to love you just as he has done for his entire life.

Oh Sammie,
I dont even know where to start. You always brought so much joy, fun, laughter and love to my life. My teenage/early adult years were a million times better because you shared them with me. I will be forever grateful that you accepted the honor of being my matron of honor. You were there the first time Chuck and I met, and you were there on the day we wed. :) There are so many wonderful memories that not only will I think of, but my whole family will as you were such a big part of it for so long. May you finally have peace, may you finally float with the rest of the angels and watch over us all. Love you much!

Your life's journey ended much too soon. I have so many wonderful memories of you and Nicole growing up. Your giggles, your cheering and hey...you were supposed to marry Derek..ha ha. I cannot even begin to imagine I understand what your family is going through. Jon, Joline, and Jonathan...my deepest sympathy. May God comfort you. May you find some peace through the midst of this tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Sam

Sam, I have known you since you were a little baby. I witnessed you grow from a little one with huge eyes of wonder through the awkward teenage years to becoming a wonderful loving mother. I will always remember your wit, beautiful smile and love of life. You have always been part of my family and will be sorely missed. You are now in the arms of our loving Lord! All of the ones who went before us are there with you looking over the rest of us mortals preparing the way for us to be you in God's glory and love. Sleep well Samantha, we will always love you.

Sammie, there are so many wonderful childhood memories, that it is impossible to compose them all onto paper. In fact, I would be hard pressed to recall a memory that the Turner family is not in...camping, Halloweens, laughing about the grandma on "Garfield's Christmas". I love you all dearly.
May you Rest in Peace, friend.
